Glad I found this, I'm pretty sure (hoping) this is my issue also.

I started with the wheel lock fix, both cut the brown wire, didn't help. So I pulled the fuse for good measure, didn't help.

Then I reset the ECU which i read somewhere might help, didn't help. Ready to pull my hair out at this point until I found this post.

My car cycles between ACC and On, lights and all come on, but doesn't fire at all. Occasionally/intermittently it does though, and it seems to get worse and worse the last few weeks to now I don't want to drive it for fear of getting stuck somewhere. The "press clutch in" picture on the dash shows as well, which is why I started searching for clutch issues.

Fingers crossed cleaning it will be the solution! I'll let you know how it goes.

Don't suppose you remember which way you turn the locking nut to loosen it? I have the harness disconnected, but that locking nut behind the bracket doesn't want to turn. The hanging metal bracket its all attached to is getting moved back and forth which isn't great, so I tried holding it in place with vice grips while i work on the locking nut. Doesn't help Im not sure which way to go.

Just put some WD 40 on it, if someone happens to know which way it might help the cause some though, thanks in advance.

Here's a pic looking at it, when looking towards front of the car, the locking nut is on the inside of this. Clockwise or counter clockwise when looking this way?
